I need to spend more
time working on learning on how to do better rough drafts. I didn’t have much
learning on how to work on them in high school, but I’m sure in my next English
class I will spend a lot of time working on using them. I also need to work on
my ability to capture others ideas in my writing. I never use many quotes in my
writing and I plan on to start doing that as well in my next English class.

Overall I feel I have
learned a lot from this hybrid English class. I also learned I have a lot more
to learn and that my high skipped out on a lot of my English especially
grammar. I feel like I contributed a good bit to this class I attended every
meeting and wrote every blog post. I know I could have started off better with
putting more effort in my posts. But ever since we had our meeting I have
worked harder on better content in my writing and proof reading and trying to
catch any of my grammatical errors. Thank you Mrs. Sasser for everything you
taught us it has been a good semester I’ve learned a lot.

This
week for my visual assignment I chose to do king of meltdowns. I chose to use a
free image of Charlie Sheen and one of my favorite quotes from him. The idea of
the assignment is to be humorous. I feel I have successfully managed to make my
assignment humorous.

You Might be a Redneck If..

On
my 3rd assignment I chose to make a meme. The object of this assignment
was to use an image and turn it into a meme. I chose a picture I took of a
trailer that I pass on the way to Jacksonville from Arab. If I had to guess
I would say it would be in the town of Snead. I took the picture a
couple of months ago and I think this was a perfect occasion to use it. I hope
it can give all of you a laugh.

This week for my 2nd ds106 project I decided
to do the visual assignment A Sunset. I picked this assignment because during
my spring break I was having a great time and as I was fishing I saw a
beautiful sunset. This sunset was so beautiful it reminded me about the ds106
project I saw about taking a picture of the sunset. So I took a picture so I could
share with all of you the beautiful sunset that was over Cartersville, GA.

I’m doing a blog post on the celebrity look alike
visual look alike assignment. That was titled “We Found Your Match” the objective of the
assignment was to use a picture of a close friend and put it up next to a celebrity’s
photo to see the likeness. I used a picture of one of my best high school
friends Dustin I did get his permission to use the photo beforehand and then I used
a photo of Zac Efron I found by googling free images. I used this comparison of
My good buddy Dustin to Zac Efron because all throughout high school I gave him
the nickname of Zac Efron. We gave it to him due to the perfect looks, popularity
and uncanny similarities. We specifically say he is just like Zac Efron’s character
he plays in the high school musical films. This is my opinion and I gave you all two
examples and gave the link to the project on DS 106 let me know what you think.

Sports

I’m a huge sports fan. I have been as long as I can
remember. I think it might be genetic. Every branch of my family is in love
with some kind of sports team. So weather genetic or learned I know sports was
a big part of my growing up and continues to be a big part of my life. Every
kid has that dream when they are young some want to be cops, firemen, maybe
even the president. I just wanted to have something to do with sports. Of
course I wanted to be the big time sports player but though I was decent due to
my frame and abilities I will never have the chance to be that star. But I would
love just to deal with sports. I was told all my life to do something you love
for a living because then it will never be work. That is my goal find a way to
incorporate sports into a job. I mean I always have sports after the job to
clear my mind but my goal would be to find a job dealing with them.

I think everyone has a little love for sports. There is
no thrill quite like them. I mean there are many competitions but sports are
more than that. They are something people train years for and people pay years
incomes to watch. Sports have the best story lines anything can happen you can
never guess. There not much quite like the upset of the sports world’s villains
or the success story of the home town hero.

All I have left to say is I hope you agree with me on the
importance of sports in your life. All the lessons learned and the fun times
had. I have no regrets with sports playing, watching anything. I have even
wrote this as I watched the Heat – Bulls game.

Blog
Post 9

This
is my 9th post and last week I wrote on procrastination so this week
I’m going to write to show my improvement on the matter and write on my
research topic. It is currently Sunday but I know I will have a busy week ahead
so I’m going to try my best to get this done while I have free time. It turns
out my free time is three days earlier then the due date. So I’m going to try
my best to be high speed and get it done. I’m not going to stop at just doing
this but I’m going to try to dig in deep and try to work on that research rough
draft

I’m pretty sure I’m
writing my paper on Rick Reilly’s blog on espn.com. I love sports and his blog
is full of inside information and I like to hear his opinions on sports topics
even if I don’t necessarily agree with him 100%. I figured it would be best to
write on a subject you feel strong about and there is nothing I love more than
sports ever since I was a kid. So I’m hoping my paper will impress and teach
everyone a little something about sports and Rick Reilly’s opinion on sports. I
plan on getting some of that paper done tonight because I know it is important
to get my work done and I know now is the best time for me to do so.
